Much Ado About Anne by Heather Vogel Frederick

In the second book of the mother daughter book club series, the girls are reading Anne of Green Gables and they have a new member in their book club, the snobby Becca Chadwick, one of the Fab Three in seventh grade.  Becca was one of Megan Wong's friends before Megan became friends with the other girls in the book club.  Becca is still mean to Emma, Cassidy and Jess, and Megan feels torn between her friends.  When Jess' parents are in danger of losing Half Moon Farm, Mrs. Wong embarrasses Megan by handcuffing herself to a tree at Half Moon Farm as a protest.  When a picture of her mom somehow finds a way into the school newspaper with Emma as the one who wrote it, and Cassidy as the one who took the picture, Megan sides with Becca against her friends.  But Emma and Cassidy claim they didn't write the article, and they think Becca accused them to make them look bad so Megan would ditch them and go back to hanging out with Becca and the Fab Three.  Her plan worked, and the Fab Four are back together and completely ignoring the book club girls.  But Megan and Jess aren't the only ones having trouble.  Cassidy's father died, and now her fashion model mother is dating again!!  What if she gets married!!!  What if Cassidy and her sister end up with a stepfather!!!  Oh no!  Later, after the book club conflict is resolved, all the girls must work together to save Jess' home.  Becca's mother always says think big, so the girls come up with an idea, a fashion show with outfits designed by Megan Wong!!  Megan works for a fashion magazine called Flashlite, so the show goes to the media too.  Can the girls earn enough money to save Half Moon Farm?  What outfit will get the highest bid?  Will Cassidy have a stepfather?  Only one way to find out!!
